Equity Court Abstracts

These are abstracts from Equity Court Records of Frederick County, Maryland, many times providing family data on the defendant and sometimes on persons not mentioned on the docket. Some of the listings are quite informative while others, being dismissed, may only have the date and name of plantiff and defendant. However, the cases brought before the judge consisted of sworn testimony and each one holds a story. Perhaps you will find a story connected to your search.

John COOK of Montgomery County  vs  Benedict DARNALL of Loudoun Co, VA
 - Foreclosure - Jan 1820

LAND - 1/4 undivided part of "Hope Farm".
To Thomas N. BINNS of Baltimore City from Benedict DARNALL 
of Loudoun Co, VA in Apr 1814.
(Obtained from the 8 Apr 1798 Will of his father, Thomas DARNALL
 devising the property to Thomas' six sons, two who have since died.) 

Benedict DARNALL transferred the mortgage to John COOK of Montgomery 
County.  This mortgage was filed at the courthouse where William RITCHIE, 
Esquire, was clerk and was endorsed by him but was not yet written into 
the record book before Ritchie died.  No one else was authorized to 
continue in this position until April 1817.  About this time, BINNS 
and DARNALL obtained possession of the said mortgage and withdrew 
it from the clerk's office and destroyed it.  

Afterwards, Thomas N. BINNS sold the land to Charles Fenton MERCER 
of Loudoun Co, VA, who now possesses the land.  

DARNALL had transferred one of the bonds to Mashach RICHARDS 
of Montgomery County and he transfered it to John Cook. 

On 29 Jun 1820, Charles F. MERCER testified Benedict DARNALL
 now lived in Ohio.  
He claimed the whole tract of "Hope Farm" was 986 acres with the four 
undivided parts being owned by Thomas N. BINNS, Raphael DARNALL, 
William ROSS and John WALKER.   
That 327 acres were sold to James SIMMONS and 200 acres were leased 
to Henry KEMP for 6 years, four of which have expired.  

He further mentions the 'other third',  "Poketaliso", 2,817 acres 
on the river, in Kenawha Co, VA, estimated at $6,666; 
also 400-500 acres in the territory, now Mississippi, estimated 
at $3,000.  

He said BINNS told him John COOK and Levi PHILLIPS pretended to have 
right to lands but assured him all notes were paid and there was no 
lien on said lands and, because of this, BINNS conveyed the 'Poketaliso' 
land in trust for Richard N. HENDERSON of Leesburg, VA.  

Mercer also stated there was a lien on the Hope Farm for John DARNALL, 
brother of Benedict DARNALL, and for the dower of Benedict's wife.  

He also mentioned a note payable to Benjamin RUSTS of Virginia.

Thomas N. BINNS testified, soon after the mortgage to Benedict DARNALL, 
he sold to DARNALL a tract of land in Farquier Co, VA, which had a valuable 
merchant mill.  BINNS claimed Benedict's mother would not give him possession 
of the 'Hope Farm' land and he did not gain possession until after her death.

SLAVE - Negro boy named EVANS

On 3 Mar 1825, John P. GARROT of Washington County, filed a petition 
stating:

John P. GARROTT was moving his family to Virginia in 1806 and 
there was a law against carrying slaves into Virginia.  
On 29 Nov 1806, he sold to Zachariah CLAGETT (lately deceased) 
the Negro boy named EVANS (then about 13), but noted EVANS had 
been given to his son, Barton GARROTT by his grandfather, Barton 
GARROTT, and thus questioned whether he had the power to sell 
EVANS, since his son may want him back when he becomes of age.  
John's written agreement stated Zachariah should be paid $1,000 
if his son demanded the return of EVANS.

In 1816, after the death of John P. GARROTT, Erasmus GARROTT 
became guradian of John P.'s son Barton GARROTT and made request 
for the return of EVANS.

Zachariah CLAGETT refused to return him and Erasmus GARROTT filed 
suit in Washington County on 11 Apr 1816 when EVANS was 22 and 
then said to be worth $500.  The sheriff returned EVANS.

On 12 Nov 1822, Zachariah CLAGETT assigned his interest in EVANS 
to Edward GARROTT and requested $500 for the loss plus interest 
from 1816.  

Distribution:  all to creditors, one being Enos GARROTT, $501.380
